One of two problems could be causing this problem...... First problem can be that the switch that you push on to dispense water or ice is sticking. The second problem that could be is the water solenoid that comes on and should close off fully is sticking open and allowing water to drip and not shut off completely. This is usually caused when the plunger in the solenoid starts to stick due to calcium deposits that has built up on it after time and if the water dispense system is not used that often. If you're not technically inclined, make sure that the repair person does not tell you anything that does not fit the descriptions that I have mentioned above. Hope this helps.

My ice maker not working and when plugged in the power light keeps blinking and it won’t make ice

I am assuming you have a water line dedicated to the fridge for the ice maker. If the fridge has a water dispenser, make sure water is flowing from it. If no water is flowing, make sure the water line was not shut off (check the shut off valve usually where the line connects to the main water source. Also make sure that there is no electronic sensor or switch enabled that turns off the ice maker.

Water dispensing into ice maker won't shut off

There should be a float or electronic water level sensor that will tell the water to shut off, if it has calcium from the water on it or the float is damaged it will keep sending water until manually shut off(pull the plug). I would look for a water level sensor of some sort and clean or replace it. If that doesn't work it could be a sticking water fill solonoid which you should then replace

Electrolux fridge water dispenser won't shut off


Then I would assume that the micro switch that you press for water is defective and sticking. I am placing a=> 242100001 Dispenser Module to give you an idea to what I am talking about but if you have a model number for your Electrolux refrigerator I may could find a micro-switch that is replaceable, Thanks Sea Breeze
